o.k fellow scoobynetters thought I'd start a thread which asks the question as to what changes etc. you have made to your Scoob to please the missus........the reason I ask is that not long after buying the car the missus started complaining that there was no vanity mirror on the passengers side sun visor My line of "well its a rally bred performance car" didn't go down to well and a week later I found myself in Halfords buying a mirror and attaching it to the visor !!

So anyone else had similar experiences ? come on don't be shy

Mine just wanted the keys

Then she said the wheels look crap, so i got new wheels,
The it was not fast enough anymore, so i got the PPP fitted
Now its still not fast enough, So i have bought a STi8 PPP

Should keep her quiet for about a month or so

Bought my STI8 as it was much "safer" than my outgoing VW ;-) plus what a bonus it had Isofix anchors for the pending baby arrival. How considerate am I.

I had to have a green Scoob.

I had to get lighter wheels, so she could change them in the event of a puncture...

I put a bigger **** on it.........

A Momo alumin/leather Air to be exact.

She didnt like the stitching on the original,but she likes the Momo coz its bigger and smoother.

Changed the stock stereo unit. She absolutely hated the factory item, loves what's in it now.

Got a 5 door so the pram would fit / dog could see out / no shopping trolley spoiler.

Use it as a shopping cart for bi monthly trips to Tescos.

Drive everywhere off boost as it makes her feel sick.

Tomorrow, replace the single STI backbox with PE twin pipe to lose some of the 'racer-boy' looks at the rear.
